Do you spar with pads or not?
I am practicing kung fu. When we spar, it’s without pads. All we wear is a cup, and if we’re going full contact, a mouthpiece. IMO, this is the best way to train. You don’t learn how to take a hit unless you get hit. Does anyone agree with me? Yes or no, why? And, finally, what do you study, and why?
Don’t have a video. Study at Song Hauk Kung Fu academy in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Polishgirl: You mean there’s someone in Arkansas who teaches Shorin Ryu? Have you ever heard of Mike Stone? My dad trained in Shorin Ryu with Mike as his teacher.

Want to train in martial art again?
Am I too old “42″ I use to do it years ago Tae kwon do kung fu kick boxing. The problem is I’ve been training at a club with my son sparring and I have found the students are soft. Which I believe you practice like you play in real time situation. Well I was sparring with a 3rd degree black belt and put him on the ground twice 1n 5 minutes and he left the floor and wined to the teacher. Which I’ve trained in the past alot but I’m 42 in decent shape have’nt trained in martial arts in 15 years he was half my age “what is the deal”. But that is not the only incident it I hit real hard and i don’t get hurt easily and it seems like the students are afraid of me and I’ve tried to spar with the instructors but they keep telling me they can’t. What are these students going to do in the street in a real life situation “did I mention I’m 5’10 230llbs so I’m really not that intimidating” How do I find a place that is serious about real life situations and will let me spar where people can takeit
